7. Why did you leave the Church of Scientology? Was there a
"final straw"?

Yes. Contra survival treatment of my wife, also an OTVII, who was on staff and although she had children she was expected to work nights because Foundation Stats (not her own) were down.

8. Do you think the Church of Scientology needs to change some
of its practices? If so, what should be changed? How did those
practices affect your life?

The complete absence of spirituality that genuine Scientology should represent. Scientology should re-align itself with all the ancient wisdoms that Ron claimed it was based upon. Scientology should publicly align itself with all religious movements, such as Christianity, Islam, Bhuddism, Zoroastrianism, etc. and also with Science. More than anything it should recognise and make amends for abandoning its spiritual roots.

9. If the items you listed in the previous question were
changed, would you consider rejoining or staying in the Church of
Scientology? If so, why?

Yes. I have no bad feelings whatsoever about an ethical Scientology and would be proud to help to lead it towards that more advanced state, having spent twenty years developing how that could be done. I was awarded a Masters Degree by Cranfield University, the thesis for which was 'Specified Requirements for Total Quality Management', covering the quality management of all things physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I have also explored many other paths, unifying their principles into one completely inter-relating cosmology.
